<p><strong>Pat O'Brien</strong> began his object technology



career in 1983 when he joined Digital Equipment Corporation in



their object-oriented languages research group and the object



database systems division. O'Brien was responsible for turning an



object-based research project into a product, now called Trellis,



at a time when object technology was still an unknown. </p>







<p>In 1992 he joined Object Design and faced the new challenge of



managing the company's flagship product, ObjectStore. Working



with both the marketing and engineering teams, his key



responsibility was to track the industry and work with customers



to decide which new features to add to the product. </p>







<p>As Product Manager of Java products, O'Brien leads the product



development and marketing efforts of Object Design's Java



products strategy. He sits on the board of directors for the



Object Management Group (OMG), a standards-forming body for the



object technology industry, and is a past chairperson of its



Object Model sub-committee. O'Brien is also a past member of the



program committee for the object industry trade show OOPSLA.</p>







<p>O'Brien graduated from Carleton University in 1976 with a



degree in mathematics. He received his masters in computer



science from the University of Toronto in 1982 and an MBA from



Boston University in 1989. </p>
